## Overview

The Alessi MDL02/6 B 'Pulcina' is a 6-cup stovetop espresso maker crafted from premium black aluminum. Engineered with illycaffè’s revolutionary boiler technology, it halts extraction to prevent bitterness, delivering a rich, balanced espresso with thick crema. Designed by Michele De Lucchi, its iconic 'V' shaped spout ensures drip-free pouring, while its ethical manufacturing underscores Alessi’s dedication to quality and sustainability. Perfect for espresso aficionados who value design, performance, and purpose.

## Description

The stove top espresso coffee maker "Pulcina", designed by Michele de Lucchi is the product of intense research into the optimization of the shape of the coffee pot in order to improve and enhance the organoleptic properties of coffee. Thanks to the internal shape of its special heater, "Pulcina" automatically stops filtering the coffee at the right moment. This interruption helps to eliminate the eruption phase, the final filtering stage that generates a burnt and bitter aftertaste, ensuring that only the finest qualities of the coffee are preserved and enhancing its full-bodied and rounded aroma. The spout is quite pronounced. Its typical 'V' shape, reminiscent of a baby chick's beak, is specially designed to perfectly cut drops when pouring. Practical and functional, making coffee with the "Pulcina" is just like making it with a traditional coffee pot.

Review: Beautiful design, definite improvement over standard Moka pot - The Alessi is a definite improvement over the standard Moka pot in a few ways. First of all, and most importantly, it makes better coffee. I had read this in reviews but had some admitted skepticism until I tried it. It produces a rich, full-bodied demitasse strength cup with none of the burnt notes I would always get with my old Moka. Also unlike the Moka, it consistently uses all of the water in the base, whereas the Moka pot would start to sputter and gurgle after using only half the water. The thick plate on the bottom of the pot seems to do a good job of dispersing the heat evenly, even on an electric stove. Second, the build quality is impressive. I have had several Moka pots of various sizes over the years and they felt, for lack of a better word, cheap. The aluminum felt flimsy and the pieces fit together in a haphazard sort of way. The Alessi, by contrast, seems to be engineered and manufactured to much tighter specifications. The aluminum feels heavier and the parts fit together snugly. The lid on the upper part opens and closes smoothly without being loose or rattling around. Third, but partly an extension of the point above, the Alessi is beautiful. Both the aesthetic and functional design elements are outstanding. It looks great on the shelf, its crisp, smooth lines (presumably from CNC machining) when viewed up-close become sweeping curves when viewed from a few feet away. The only real downside to the design is the handle. It is a bit small and awkwardly shaped, making it difficult to pour without your fingers bumping the hot metal. I usually grab it with a towel or oven mitt if I am pouring right off the stove. Also, in case anyone is not acquainted with Moka-style coffee makers, this device does not make espresso. Coffee from the Alessi is never going to taste like a shot of espresso from your favorite coffee shop. That said, it does produce a stronger brew with more body than a drip-style coffee maker, and it is appropriate for a demitasse serving. It is called a 3-cup maker, but I get just a bit over two espresso cups' worth of coffee per brew. Overall, if you are like me and had given up on Moka-style coffee, you might consider giving this one a try. It is a big improvement over the Moka, and will look great on the shelf even when you aren't using it.
Review: Exquisitely Italian style and coffee! - Looks as good as the coffee it brews - if Italian Mika pot coffee is your preference. This baby brother goes perfectly with the larger one I have been using for years especially when I need a cup just for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEWARE!!
*by J***U on February 8, 2021*

( my 1st review) LOVE LOVE LOVE this pot! Quick easy and DELICIOUS! Not to mention BEAUTIFUL!! UPDATE!! I have had this pot for less than 5 MONTHS and it is falling APART!! I am 65 y/o who takes very good care of this pot. There’s no one else that uses it.I HAND WASH IT OCCASIONALLY WITH LITTLE TO NO MILD SOAP. The hinge that holds the top lid is to cheap to handle the weight of the lid. So it easily bends and gets crooked. I can hear things rattle around in the fallen off handle but there’s no way to get the screws out to try and repair it yourself!! And worst of all shortly after I received mine I ordered a second one as a birthday gift for a friend!! I feel embarrassed. It’s high on beauty and form BUT IT GET’s AN “F” FOR EVERY THING ELSE!! What you get this pot is WAAAAY over priced. Had it been sturdy and functional I would have gladly paid the price. I plan to avoid this company from now on.
